Mihl's Swirly Cinnamon Bread

This is what it looked like outside when I woke up today. It had been snowing all night, and since there's no ploughing or sanding here on weekends the whole village is covered in snow. Beautiful, isn't it? Unfortunately, it has been incredibly windy all day so being outside was kind of hell on earth so I stayed inside most of the time instead. And what's better do to then than baking? Yesterday, Mihl on seitan is my motor wrote about a cinnamon bread with no less than 6 swirls in it! I knew I had to make it. You'll find the recipe here!

The dough.

Flattened and spread with the filling.

6 rolls of goodness.

Out of the oven. I clearly have some things to learn when it comes to assembling, cause the top roll just fell off.

LOOK HOW PRETTY IT IS!!

It tasted almost like cinnamon rolls, do I have to say that's a good thing?

It cleared up for about 5 minutes in time for sunset, then the weather went back to Mordor-style again.

Wow, I want to come and visit you! It looks so beautiful with the grass on the house roofs. I know I am getting all clichee-y and stereotype-y now but it reminded me of one Pippi Longstockings episode (the TV programme), where they are all out in the snow. I realize you are not in Sweden :) but I miss the Scandinavian winter. Your bread came out so great! I am sorry, I had to laugh about the top swirl falling off. It still looks amazing. Thank you for trying it out.
